    Snowflake eel tumor?

    Hello, I’ve got an 18” snowflake eel, who seems quite healthy, except for something that looks kinda like a tumor on the roof of her mouth. Seems to be growing. Still eating and doesn’t seem to have changed behavior. Anyone know if there’s anything I can or should do?

    Snowflake eel question

    So, I just got a snowflake eel today from my lfs. He’s had him for 3 weeks and doing well. I fed him tonight. I was wondering how much should you feed him. Since he’s only like a foot if that maybe give or take some. I cut up a small raw shrimp and gave him about a third of that shrimp. Just...

    Huge snowflake price?

    So I have a massive snowflake eel in my tank that I'm considering selling but I dont know a good price for them at the size he is at. Most I find online is for 12" max, and mine is at least 30" of not more and a little bit bigger around than a golf ball. This guy eats 8 silverside almost every day.
